tac: Use a separator [b]efore each file.
$ tac -b ${filename1 filename2 ---}
try on your machine
The tac
command is used in Linux/Unix systems to reverse the order of lines in a given file(s). The -b
option is not a valid option for the tac
command, so assuming it's a placeholder meant to represent the actual filenames.
The command tac -b ${filename1 filename2 ---}
likely intends to reverse the order of lines in multiple files. However, the placeholders ${filename1 filename2 ---}
are not valid syntax.
To use the tac
command properly, you should replace ${filename1 filename2 ---}
with the actual filenames you want to reverse. The command would look like:
tac file1.txt file2.txt
This would reverse the order of lines in both file1.txt
and file2.txt
and display the result.
